Simi Valley Family YMCA Forms New Advisory Board
The Californer/10296396

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - Californer -- The Simi Valley Family YMCA has formed a new all-volunteer advisory board. Andy Dominguez is board chair.

The Simi YMCA is a branch of the Southeast Ventura County YMCA. The new board will support the mission and goals of the Simi YMCA and the Southeast Ventura County YMCA and function as ambassadors for both.

"The community of Simi Valley and the Simi Valley Family YMCA have been partners in growth, healthy living and quality experiences for many years," says Dominguez. "This is an exciting time to be an Advisory Board member as we work towards strengthening and extending that partnership."

The board will assist in the capital campaign for the Simi YMCA's expansion project scheduled to break ground in 2025. The Y will be adding a full-size gymnasium, an enlarged fitness center, three multipurpose activity rooms, seven individual family locker rooms, an expanded Kids' Zone child watch center, family recreation lounge and additional parking.

"The Y expansion will better answer the many growing needs of Simi Valley residents and lead to continued high quality and memorable program offerings," says Dominguez. "At the same time, the Advisory Board will also assist the Y in its annual support campaign, which raises funds that go towards maintaining financial assistance and affordable programming so that all community members can be YMCA members and participate in YMCA programs." Board members will also help on various task force committees including communication and member engagement.

"The majority of our board members are connected with the Y in some way. But just like any entity that needs to grow and improve, we also have members who have not been associated with the Y before," says Dominguez. "Both bring great resources to the table with history, new ideas, and old and new connections and resources."
